Assignment: Critical Media Analysis
Select a news topic that you find interesting and/or important. Pick at least four media outlets (I would suggest no more than five) and throughout the semester carefully follow how they cover this issue. What patterns are there? What narratives are implicit in the coverage?
How does the coverage coming out of a non-Western country contrast with what we see in Western media outlets? These questions are just ideas for directions you might want to take your paper in, what is important is that you develop a compelling argument. Only one of the media outlets can be a U.S. one and only one can be based in Canada, Australia, or Western Europe. You are encouraged, but not required, to select media outlets solely from the non-Western world. you will submit a 200-words description of the project and how you plan to complete it.
